Attach Vendor Payment Reports to Payment History: United States

You can have the system automatically attach an electronic copy of payment information to payment history records when generating vendor payments in Accounts Payable.

The type of payment information attached to the payment history differs depending on the type of payment.

  • For check payments, the system attaches a non-negotiable copy of the check to the payment history record.

  • For EFT payments, the system attaches a copy of an EFT remittance report.

  • For credit service payments, the system attaches a copy of a credit service remittance report.

Attachments are in PDF format.

The system attaches reports to the payment record in the AP Payment Posting form once you print checks or download EFTs and/or credit service files. When you post the AP Payment Posting batch, the system moves the attachment to the payment history record in the AP Payment History form.
